Hyytiäinen's Impossibilities

A new iteration of Miika Hyytiäinen 's "Impossibilities for Violin"

Miika Hyytiäinen's "Impossibilities of Violin" for solo violin, was written inspired by and for the ”Temporality of the Impossible" and dejana.

The piece is quite literally a forever changing piece - its form (“score”), is a video generated from extremely various sources, appears in front of the performer (and the audience) for the first time only in the very moment of the performance itself.

The following video features the recording of yet another premier (as we have learned by now, each performance of this piece is a premiere) of the piece that as part of dejana's perofrmance "Interrupted. Continued" for Music Biennale Zagreb 33 Launch of the festival year at LAUBA (Zagreb, Croatia) on May 26th, 2024.

"Temporality of the Impossible" still makes me giggle, such a beautiful name that opens up ideas and nicely points out many things I love and hate about music written for violin. As a composer, I like to be nice to the musicians and in this case being nice means not being nice, which made the composition process somehow stressful but also interesting. Originally (I think), the "temporality" cancels the "impossible", someone will always rehearse the unplayable. But I decided to use the time dimension to create the impossible.” - Miika Hyytiäinen
